> Vegetarian meals can be very tasty and satisfying.

As someone who grew up never eating a single piece of meat until about the age of 20, yes, but that's not the full picture.

After I started eating meat I ate pretty much ate the amount the average American does for about a decade. Nowadays I eat a lot less meat, and certainly don't require it every meal. I _can_ go a few days without it, but after that I get real cravings to the point that meals start to feel empty with out it. More so if I have been working out a lot.
